Sheree Clark

St. Petersburg College alumna Sheree Clark took what she learned from her business degree and became a successful business entrepreneur.

Sheree launched her successful photographic art startup, Words by Design LLC, after earning a Bachelors of Applied Science degree in Management and Organizational Leadership from SPC.

"The program taught me that I can do it; that I can start something and build something, network with people and pursue being a leader in my community and in my life," Sheree said. 

What set SPC apart for Sheree were the faculty and the specific focus on entrepreneurship.

"I learned what it takes to start a business; the skills, practices and policies to make it successfuI," she said. "I believe that's one of the most profound skills that I've taken from SPC - to not go by a rubric, but to think creatively and independently. Because of SPC, I'm now running my own company."
